Patterns At Lafitte

Last summer, I took you with me to Lafitte, a mansion/castle in the South West of France where I spend a few weeks every year. This year, we are going to step into the rooms again, as I wanted to share with you some of the beautiful patterns that brighten up many of the rooms... Come in!From top:1. the cotton sheets in my room2. the wallpaper in the stairs3. bedspread in the master bedroom4. a comfy chair in the main living room

I love this little glimpse into your french sojourn. For some reason I can't help but think of The Mysteries of Udolpho when I think of a house in the French countryside. Maybe because there's something so old world and antique about these exquisite patterns--they probably are antiques! You are staying in a castle, after all.

J ELAINE - Hi my doll! I'm having a wonderful time here at Laiftte. All I do is fetch the ball, sniff intensively, get in trouble with the neighbor's cat and play with the kids - except for one kid whom I met again today and whose limbs I wanted to bite into.I can't wait to see you! Woof!
